luannski : You should watch To Catch A Smuggler on the National Geographic channel. It's amazing what people try to bring into a country and it's not just drugs. What are they thinking!

I was diwn in baggage claim on the international side. Flight had come in from El Salvador. Dogs whiffed a bag...the agent pulled it off the carousel and opened it. It was full of live crabs.

Well Houston bush made me take off shoes last Wednesday. I swear every airport needs to get on same page. Everyone one we have been thru has different ways of doing things. Take stuff out leave it in take belt off leave shoes on or off lol. I did get to bring husband' s brothers ashes w us. I forgot the death certificate. But it was small amount I was worried they would take him. My precheck expired o only had domestic. I need to get international this year. I had clear also but then it was expensive to renew. I'm still mad they took my rum in Charlotte. I got it at duty free in Jamaica apparently they didn't wrap it properly. TSA took it.
 
Cantaffordthis : Someone had fun with your rum. That's just not right!

I traveled out of terminal C on 7-1 and removal of shoes was not required. It made the line move more smoothly. I did notice that there was more canine activity sniffing people and carry on luggage but that may have been due to the high travel period leading up to July 4th week.

It helps if the canines are out in front of TSA. Things go a lot faster. As far as shoes? Wear HeyDudes (lighter and very comfortable)

Get Global Entry, as it includes Pre-Check. But Pre-Check does Not include GE. Very worth it!

luv2eatsushi : Sending my shoes thru X-ray has always been a problem; they always seem to jam that darn machine up. I'll give those HeyDudes a try. Thanks

Ohhhh a friend suggested the HeyDudes. If you are a frequent traveler you have a pair. Sooooo light and comfortable. Get them on Amazon.

Did the TSA make you take your sandals off if you were wearing them instead of shoes?
